Lyrics
Where You Go From Here
By Allison Thomas &
Steve Protheroe Jr
Verse 1:
Heather was a girl just like you and me
She gave her all to God but never had a perfect story
Her friends were always drinking but she never went along
She knew what was right but this time she did what she knew was wrong
CHORUS:
You wanna turn back the years
And take back the tears of the life you once lived.
You can't change your past
And the memories will last
But it's where you go from here
Verse 2:
After just one drink her and Sarah stumbled to her car
Heather turned the key
Sarah's house isn't all that far
She started driving faster
They laughed as she swerved to the right
She lost control
Her life changed all because of one night
Bridge:
Now Sarah's gone
And all Heather can feel
Is the pain of not showing Sarah what was real
You only have one chance
Live today like it's all you've got
Life doesn't last like a picture
You only have one shot
